Race Day and Registration

Online registration is open now. Event sign-on takes place on race morning at University of Limerick — Maguire’s Pitches (South Campus), with check-in available until 0850.

All participants must hold valid insurance to race — either a Triathlon Ireland Race Membership or a One-Day Licence — and must present photo ID at registration.

The race starts promptly at 0930.

Race Format and Distances

Limerick Duathlon follows the classic run, bike, run format:

  • Run 1: 4.6 km — road and riverside paths around UL’s Maguire’s Pitches
  • Bike: 19 km — fast, flat out-and-back on the R506 towards Murroe village
  • Run 2: 4.0 km — final run back to the finish

Detailed maps and route information will be published ahead of race day.

A duathlon replaces the swim leg of a triathlon with an opening run, making it an excellent introduction to multisport racing.
